My mum parked our car in the driveway and we walked up to the front door. The gravel felt like ice even through my school shoes.

I walked into my bedroom and slipped out of my uniform into my pyjamas. I climbed into bed after grabbing out the book I was currently reading.

I heard the padding of feet on the wooden floor of the hallway and looked up to see mum at my doorframe holding a steaming lemon honey drink. My mum was the best!

"Thanks mum! Love you."

She leant down to give me a kiss,

"Just rest now and we'll hope you get better by tomorrow." She said.

As she walked out and half closed the door, I felt quite guilty as all of this was a lie just to get out of school so I could go on the journey I had been preparing for since I knew about my powers.

Every school day I would take more food to school than I would eat and when I got home, stash it in a drawer. Over time this stash had developed, and it is ready to be taken. This way mum won't notice the dramatic change in food stock.

I grabbed my jansport and my suitcase. I started filling plastic bags with muesli bars, packets of chips, crackers and biscuits I had been saving and stuffed them all into my jansport. I then yanked open my drawers and started filing through my clothes, grabbing which ever ones I thought would be suitable for my escape.

I took my pillow and one blanket and stuffed them in on top of the clothes. I pulled on my warm fuzzy winter coat and slipped on my boots. I slung my jansport onto my back and picked up my suitcase, and proceeded to the door of my bedroom. I forgot to grab money. I ran back into my room and snatch up my birthday money sitting on my dresser.

I shoved it into my coat pocket and zipped it up.

I then walked out to the front door. I took a deep breath and just before opening the door, I saw Marshmallow, our little kitten of 10 months old mewing at my feet. I picked her up and cuddled her.

"Goodbye my marshmallow, I'll miss you so much!"

I felt a hot tear run down my face, but I knew I needed to find my grandmother to get her to take back my powers.

I put Marshmallow down, opened the door to feel the cold wind on my flushed cheeks. I walked out and closed the door behind me.
